I also properly torqued the bolts but did not replace them. I have done this with my calipers on the race car probably 15 times now. I have not had a single instance of them ever coming loose.

Look up the price on those bolts! You'll never find any track person using a new set of bolts every time they change pads... you'd spend $30 extra an axle just on bolts!

It's good to know the bolts can be re-used if needed. I did a complete brake job over he winter last year and did some extensive reading on it first. everywhere i looked they said to replace the bolts. I figured it was probably overkill but for a few extra bucks I knew I'd sleep better. The motive power leeder worked very well too.

Thanks for your input!
